I like to explore new places and live how the locals do. I love learning about new new things, I am pretty carefree and low maintenance and don't mind helping out if theres work to be done. I like to be a team player and love meeting friendly fun people. I am respectful of the space I am staying in and very considerate of the host if they need quiet or early departures. I also don't mind managing on my own if you are busy, I am grateful you are just on CS :D I am from the NYC Tri state area residing in NJ but working sometimes in New York, I work at Giants Stadium and I teach painting classes as well as doing Commissions, We will bring Wine for you! *I have an old account from 2012 under Desiree Alessandra, accidentally made this new one that is verified *

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

`I enjoy meeting the locals! It's the best way to get a an accurate perspective while on your journey. I don't host as much but I've couch surfed for the first time in Montreal in 2015 it was a very positive experience and made some great friends while at it so it's my favorite way to travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love going to concerts and listen to a vaiety of different genres. I like the Amy Winehouse, the black keys, rhythm and blues, rock music, pop rock, old school rap like the beastie boys, my favorite movie is ET any Wes Anderson movies, and favorite books are always autobiographies or fiction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked many amazing festivals and celebrations like The Global Citizen Festival in NYC, Firefly Festival, Mountain Jam Festival, as well as many others on the east coast. I travelled to Utah in 2015 for 2 months as a Workaway to work the color festival and help out around their home and farm. I met many travelers and wandering souls on their very own special journeys.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing music bands and swapping recomendations. I can teach you how to paint with acrylic paints if you'd like to learn, I am also fluent in Spanish and can help you practice, and of course I share drinks!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love sharing music and reccomendations as well as getting some new reccomendations as well, accounting advice, and of course I share drinks and throw in for expenses like gas or food if you'd like to order takeout or make something together. I am a pro pet sitter! If you need the fur baby fed or walked or the plants watered let me know!
